were examined. Their M are: Abe

Or the street Car Line to Benwood To Ac-
eommodate workingmen.
Some time since the petition OF u large
number OF BenwOOd and Wheeling people,
asking the stockholders of the Citizens
Railway Company to extend their line,
was presented TO Council. In reply to the
inquiry of the committee appointed by
Council, the Street Car Company asked to
have action deferred until the new Council
should convene. The people interested
are very anxious to have the line extended,
rs it will not only benefit them, but Will be
a source of great revenue tO merchants.
II will also enhance the value of real es-
tate in the lower end OF the city, as Ben
wood is not able to accommodate the large
influx of new ~wOrkingmen, who, in almost
every case, nave found it necessary TO go
to a boarding house, rs every tenement
house is rented. BenwOOd 10Y has the
employees of two steel plants, a nail mill, a
blast furnace, besides 4 large number OF
Il. and d. and Ohio River Railroad EN-
ployes and other wOrkmen to accOmmO-
date, and is not in any way equal to the
task.
In addition to the above, the Riverside
company have commenced work on their
tube works. which Is expected to be ready
for operation by July lst. 1t will give
employment To 5O0men. Work has also com
menced ON a large machine shop and fOun-
dry, which will do the work for Benwood
and vicinity that has heretofore been sent
east. To accommodate this large influx OF
workingmen, the street ear company should
take active steps, ~ they would not only
secure the patronage OF the wOrklngmen,
but of the people of Bellaire and Ben
wood ~ well, who now use the railroads,
and who would come to Wheeling for a
big part of their purchases. A number OF
plans are talked of, the most practicable
one being a motor line, which will con-
meet with the lower end of the street car
line. There is no reasOn why Wheeling
should not secure this advantage and our
merchants should take steps to bring
about that end.

The Natural Gas Company Of v, Va,

To The Citizens Of WhoiiHg using Ndinrnl Gas for
dom csic purpOscs:
Last week my attention was called TO frequent
cases where the fire was unsatisfactory ~ 10 heat
and gas found burning around the mixer under
the CRATE. Whenever that occurs the filing In
the crate should be taken out and reaiiusted,
over and around the burner and distributing
pipe. To secure a bright. clear. Safc and salts
factory fire the filling in the CRATE oughttobeiaken
out about once a month and all the dust or dirt
that has accumulated around the mixer or dis
tributing pipe removed and the bllI.g carefully
put In 10 as to not interfere with the dow Of gas
up through the filling in the CRATE. 1.-THE open
ings in the burner arr allowed 10 become clogged
with dust, the gas may be driven down around
the mixer and might become dangerous by find
ing its way down through the hearth. A care
hl observance Of the above will insure a good,
clear fire and prevent possible accidents from

SAD DROWNING.
JOHN WENDLER, A SMALL BOY FALLS INTO
THE OHIO RIVER
And 5 Swept from E1rh IN q Sudden and UneH-
pstd Manna-THs Body Whiria Away
By the Sweeping Cursnt

During the heavy food Of several years
since not a life wa lost in Wheeling, yet
this wears freshet has been the cause Of
one drowning already, that Of a small boy
named John Wendler. 1t appears that
young Wendler, who is about nine years
OF age, wa engaged in playing with acom-
panion on the river bank at the foot OF
Twenty-fourth street, yesterday afternoon
about 400 O'Clock, and while tussllng
each other about they got near the edge oil
the bank, which isalmost wholly composed
o floOse tanbark, and the bark giving away
wendler was precipitated into the river,
while his companion saved himself. A
man who WAS standing some distance away,
saw the boys and warned them of their
danger, but they did not heed him, and
the misfortune occurred.
As the bank at that point is very high
and steep the boy was Immediately swept
out into the rushing current n beyond
human aid, for it would have been perfect
Jolly for any one to have attempted TO save
the lad by jumpingin, and no skiffs or boats
were about, and the poor little fellow
sank for the last time in full view of several
persons who were powerless to aid him,
except by sacrificing their W lives.
The lad was a son of John Wendler, who
Is a stone-masOn, and who resides at 23ll
Alley c. When the parents heard of the
sudden fate Of their child, they were
shocked beyond description and could
hardly believe the story. Mr. Wendler
stated TO a REGIsTER reporter that the boy
was attired in a suit composed of dark
cloth, knee pants, dark wooden waist,
wearing no Jacket He has brown hail
and blue eyes. If the body is found be
low, the person finding it will confer
great favor and receive the thanks OF q
heart-broken mother and father by eom'
m~unicating the fact to them. As the cur
rent is extremely swift there is no telling
where the body will be washed to a. II Is
very light.
